These gifts that I just bought for the #bees - scabious, sedum, campanula, oregano and marigolds, are all either repotted or planted out. Most popular by far with honey bees & bumblebees is the oregano, with sedum a distant second. Just saying. 🐝

Visited a garden centre today to choose some bee-friendly plants. We just followed where the local bees were headed, and these are some of the plants to which they led us.🐝🐝

Just two fruits left on our persimmon tree as far as I can see. There were six three weeks ago. 😢 our first crop two years back was one, and nothing last year.

This morning Mr P is kicking himself for not watching the match. Offered to do it for him.

To @medmilmedicine.bsky.social Just reviewed the book - sorry took so long. Hugely enjoyed reading it, and highly recommend to others.

Is today the day that Hettie allows me to thoroughly demat her fur and clean up her eye area? Do any #cat people have any tips on this?

All of us.

Cocktails in the garden under the canopy planned for this evening; I wrote a menu for Mr P, and he chose Cuba Libre. I like to add a little triple sec to take the edge off the white rum, and blackberries from the freezer.

Dear FIFA- please could I call you about suspending the red card awarded to an England player? What time would suit?

In my newspaper, useful advice from a nutritionist for England fans staying up for the overnight match with Mexico: for dinner on Sunday night, quinoa salad with roasted vegetables and tofu, and then breakfast: scrambled eggs on toast or granola with Greek yogurt. Stock up, everyone.

In the UK, why the repeated talk about a ‘coronation’ for A Burnham? Why, we were even treated to a drone’s video of his train on its way to London, then the reception at the station. At present he’s an MP only.

Seems to me that the press, big money, and foreign interference have pushed us to this point. Pure democracy doesn’t come into it these days. (Oxford comma intentional.)
